Celebrating the 4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July with visitors from Brazil, a parade and a barbeque.

Randall's Mom, and Aunt and Uncle visited us for the weekend. Jerry and Sonia are in the US on a visit from Brazil and they had to meet the twins while they were in the States. On July 4th they accompanied us up to Ault Park for the Children's parade. We thought we were just going to watch , but Kenzie and Lexi were able to join the parade in the stroller division. Next year we'll know and will be able to better decorate with patriotic flair - maybe they'll even be able to ride in the wagon that Papa Gene is making for them ;) We all survived the heat and had a great time.

Later that evening the DeLacy's hosted a barbeque. We enjoyed great food and company ... until the neighbors set off a firecracker and little Kenzie had a meltdown .. my sweet sensitive one ... it was then time to head home and for the girls to go to bed.

We later 'enjoyed' the fireworks from the inside of the nursery ... picture me leaning over the crib patting the girls' bellies and "shushing" really loudly to try to drown out the noise of the fireworks in order to avoid a repeat performance of the firecracker meltdown ;)

All in all we had a great weekend!
